As congressional Republicans have advanced their ACA ‘repeal’, EMBRACE has had some noteworthy progress.
1) ‘The Hill’ published an opinion piece entitled “EMBRACE single system healthcare reform-How Congress can repeal Obamacare while creating a more perfect healthcare system“. There were a lot of shares and comments.
2) Dr. Lancaster’s book was reviewed by Cardiology Magazine, The Daily Voice and by Yale Medicine Magazine , the magazine of the Yale School of Medicine.
3) During a press conference with Congressman Jim Himes (CT-4), the congressman was asked about EMBRACE as a possible alternative to the Republican healthcare bill (that had just been proposed). The Congressman not only was familiar with the plan, he also gave a very nice summary. Here is a YouTube link.

EMBRACE (Expanding Medical and Behavioral Resources with Access to Care for Everyone) is a revolutionary new healthcare system for the twenty-first century. It was conceived by healthcare professionals, not lawmakers, with an infrastructure designed to use modern innovations and technology to achieve effective and efficient healthcare.
It is more than the health insurance reform of the Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare). It is more than single-payer health insurance. It is a complete overhaul of the American healthcare system from its very government and business roots. This book attempts not only to explain the need for a new healthcare system like EMBRACE but also to demonstrate how it might feel to live in the United States with such a system. Working under the assumption that the reader has no background in the subject, the book provides an idea of the possible effects of EMBRACE on consumers (patients), doctors, hospitals, businesses, and even government.

I am a licensed agent for health insurance and have heard past proposals of extending Medicare to all. Would the Embrace core coverage be directly connected with Medicare? I think that may scare folks if so. It should be it’s own program for those not eligible for Medicare. The single payer method is fabulous!

Thank you for your question Dolly.
EMBRACE will have nothing to do with Medicare. In fact, when EMBRACE comes into effect, it will supplant Medicare, Medicaid, VA and all other public insurance programs. It will offer universal automatic (no individual mandate) coverage for all basic healthcare services (including life threatening conditions and preventative services) and will be free. Everyone will be able to upgrade this basic (Tier 1) coverage with private insurance (Tier 2).
If you are interested in more details, please read my book: EMBRACE: A Revolutionary New Healthcare System for the Twenty-First Century.
